Hardly ever a movie disturbed my emotions as much as Lars von Trier's Medea did. When I left the cinema I was unable to do anything for more than an hour but to think about the pictures I had seen and the tragic fate of Medea and her family. And that was not because I hadn't known the story before the screening but because of the paste and tone of the film as well as the superb acting of Kristin Olsen. I wonder if I can ever forget the scene when her older son gives her a robe to help her to complete her fatal task, or when the same boy goes after the younger one and brings him back so that he could be the object of their mother's revenge.
It is very sad that this Danish tv adaptation of this Greek play can hardly ever be seen. So film lovers in Budapest are really lucky that this year's Titanic Festival featured several films of Trier; including Breaking the Waves as well as Epidemic and Europe which also must be seen.
